Wow – what a great recipe. I’d never heard of this before, and it’s the quick version apparently of a French classic. We really enjoyed this!

4 skinless chicken breasts
3 Tbls chopped fresh parsley, divided
2 portabellas, chopped in 1 inch squares
4 large shallots, cut in 1 inch cubes

1.5 c chicken broth
4 tsp flour

In same skilled add shallots and mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute approx 4 minutes. Add garlic and rosemary, toss 10 seconds. Add wine, broth, bacon, and 1 Tbls parsley. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
